The Best Fruit Trees for Small Baldivis Backyards & Young Families
You don’t need a massive rural block to grow your own food. Many young families moving into the new estates around Baldivis and Wellard have smaller backyards, but that shouldn’t stop you from picking fresh fruit with the kids! “Dwarf” and “compact” varieties are the perfect solution for modern WA living.
Top Recommendations for Small Spaces:
- Dwarf Citrus: Lemons and Limes grow beautifully in large pots or small garden beds, providing year-round greenery and heaps of fruit.
- Columnar Apples: These trees grow straight up like a pillar, taking up very little horizontal space—perfect for planting along a fence line.
- Multi-Grafted Trees: Want two types of plums but only have space for one tree? Multi-grafted “Family Trees” are a fantastic way to double your variety in a single hole.
Want to see how compact these trees really are? Bring the family down to the nursery! We love helping young families plan their first edible garden, no matter how small the backyard is.
